*Atlanta*

Fatima just got back from work and saw flowers by the door written HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAILA, it was white roses which are Fatima's favourite. She forgot that it was her daughter's birthday due to the emotions she's been going through. This moment right here solidified that she should forget about her.
